After learning about Orry-Kelly's dedication and creativity, one can't help but eagerly dig back into his 301 films, his name a sign of style and elegance after that now-antiquated "Gowns By" credit.

The clips Armstrong and her team have rounded up make us appreciate how, in a whole range of situations, costumes express character.

Top Critic

The golden age of Hollywood offers a feast of juicy material and Armstrong digs in with gusto.

Top Critic

The film overstays its welcome by punctuating his story with ill-advised dramatic fantasy sequences that are meant to illustrate the anguish of a gay man in mid-century America, but come across as heavy-handed and mean-spirited.

Top Critic

A rollicking if somewhat ham-handed documentary about the life of costume designer Orry-Kelly.

Top Critic

Flamboyantly gay, the man who became Bette Davis's favourite costume designer emerges as a flawed, workaholic visionary, an Australian movie great.
